Dear Aspirant,

If you are starting from scratch then you do not have enough time. One month is a very small time period for preparation of JEE. I suggest you should just focus on solving previous year papers for your remaining time.

You can buy arihant previous year papers of JEE mains and solve at least 15-20 papers.

Hope this helps. Thank you.

Hello,

For good preparation of neet 2020 you must stay focus on your exams. Keep your health good and have proper sleep.

In biology you need a lot of revision and mcq solving. You can use any good mcq book. You can refer ncert at your fingertips, true man etc

In chemistry you need lot of revision in inorganic lot of practice in organic and physical.

In physics you need lot of practice you have to solve lot of numerical you can use any good mcq books

Hi durgesh
As you can only one month time is left but lots of thing can be achieved.you are required to prepare a time table of 10-12 hours and stick on it for the rest time.lot of book will create confusion so just go through NCERT book and get command in it.many questions are directly from NCERT.select the topic in which you are good.first look for easily and highly scoring topic.studying all the chapter would not be possible as the syllabus requires 2years so choose the topic wise and study hard.enough time is there for cracking jee mains with colourful marks

Hello there!

Greetings !

It's not that difficult to start your neet preparation, you can start your neet preparation by reading ncert books,  first of all go through your class 11 syllabus of biology, Physics and Chemistry from ncert and go through the theory well . Ncert is really good for clearing your basic concepts especially for biology, you can follow books like Trueman's biology as well for reference and follow books like hc verma for physics and op Tandon for chemistry, after finishing each chapter you should practice numericals and mcqs and keep revising your concepts whenever you feel like you are for getting some concepts , you can make a routine as well and try to give at least 8 hours or more to study , your routine should revolve around study, revise and practice . You should make a list of important definitions, important formulas, important derivations in chemistry and physics and important diagrams in biology etc. and you can brush them up weekly. You can make mind maps, flow charts for memory based topics while studying the chapters and these will help you a lot during your revision .You should set daily, weekly and monthly goals for yourself and try to accomplish them in the fixed time.Good luck for your neet preparation .

Thankyou

Biology is the biggest section in NEET, comprising about half of the exam, and acing this subject can help you in scoring more in the exam. Human Physiology and Genetics have maximum weightage in NEET. It is advisable to practise questions of Genetics from previous year question papers, which will give you a thorough understanding of how the questions are being asked. Topics of Plant and Animal kingdom have a lot of portion to memorize. You can prepare these topics by making a comparative table for the sub-topics and studying it together. Plant physiology is also equally important and easy to score. For more tips, please visit our page at:
https://medicine.careers360.com/articles/how-prepare-for-neet-biology. Chemistry is divided into Inorganic, Physical and Organic chemistry. For inorganic chemistry, you must refer to the NCERT. Organic comprises of many reactions and reagents which can be practised by writing over and over again. Physical chemistry requires a comparatively deeper understanding of concepts, so preparing with the NCERT and referring to study material a level higher than NCERT should be the way to go. For more information, please visit our page at:
https://medicine.careers360.com/articles/how-prepare-for-neet-chemistry. Physics needs utmost focus and time because it involves with theoretical concepts and numbers. There should be a systematic approach in preparing for NEET. The important topics are Mechanics, ElectroDynamics, Modern Physics, Heat and Thermodynamics, Optics, Simple Harmonic Motion, Waves. Formulae form an integral part of your preparation. Memorise as many formulae as you can and write them down and stick them as post its so that you can always see them. Practise regularly and try various kinds of questions. Solving previous papers and mock tests to test your improvement. Keep a clock and check the time its taking you to solve these questions. And improve the time as you practise more. One day of the week should be set aside for revision so as to keep the mind fresh.

Dear Aspirant,

There are different ways of joining defense services after graduation. Since you have done your graduation in engineering, let's see what will be the most viable options.

1. AFCAT-

Air Force Common Admission Test is an entrance examination for Defense Services. Only graduates can apply for the exam. It is a 2-hour offline exam, which happens twice a year comprising of Numerical ability, Verbal ability, General awareness, Reasoning and Military aptitude. Selected candidates will be then called for Service Selection Board (SSB) interview. SSB is a five-day long interview process where candidates are assessed whether they have Officers like Quality. The interview process includes psychological assessments, intelligence test, group tasks, and a personal interview. On the final day, based on the marks obtained on different elements, a candidate is either recommended or not recommended for the medical fitness test. Only after clearing the medical test, they can enter airforce.

If you want to apply to flying branch, the Pilot Aptitude Battery Test (PABT) is also part of the selection process.

If you want to apply to the technical branch, Engineering Knowledge test (EKT) has to be given after AFCAT.

For more information, https://competition.careers360.com/exams/iaf-afcat

2. CDSE- Common Defense Service Examination is another entrance examination to enter defense services. Through CDSE, candidates can either enter IMA (Indian Military Academy) or OTA (Officers Training Academy). Syllabus of IMA CDSE includes General Awareness, English and Mathematics. OTA CDSE comprises General Awareness and English. CDSE is followed by SSB and Medical test. If you wish to enter flying branch, you are expected to clear PABT as well.

3. NCC- If you were involved in National Cadet Cops and managed to secure at least B grade in their C level certificate then you are allowed to directly sit for SSB. NCC certificate also helps in reducing cut off marks in SSB.

Few other points to keep in consideration while applying to defense

1. You are below 25 years.

2. You are unmarried.

3. You have scored at least 60% in your graduation.

Hope this helps. All the best!
